Location: All Around Death City
Rating: Varies
Time: June 6th, All Day
Description: Welcome to Death City!



BREW's at it again. After powering up, giving energy readings on the night of the 5th that alerted Shibusen to new arrivals, they turn now to volunteers to assist in giving the newcomers the information and supplies they need.

Perhaps you're one of the ones who woke up in the Kishin Chamber on the morning of the 6th. Perhaps you live in Casualty Communal and were woken up by equipment transporting strange x-ray machines to rest in front of the building, prepared to scan the fresh meat and determine which are Meisters and which are Weapons.

The sun is laughing high in the sky as temperatures soar to 110 degrees F. The air wobbles in the distance, and many citizens are drinking plenty of iced tea and lemonade to cool down. One group of children has popped open a fire hydrant and are playing in the spraying water before the police arrive to give them trouble.

No doubt the new arrivals are confused... let's give them a warm welcome, shall we? But not too warm- stay hydrated and cool, everyone!

And new guys? Welcome to the desert.


[ooc: Newcomers! Simply tag in to any or all of the sections here and volunteers will pop right up to greet you ASAP! The last section is completely OPEN for newcomers, volunteers, or Guests all ready in Death City who want to come up and say hello. Have fun!]

I'm fairly certain a cardboard box will never save my life. Spare me the rhetoric; I've already heard the uses of cardboard boxes in combat bit from Raiden.

[sneakthatshit]

Raiden's just a kid. He hasn't learned enough to teach yet.

[Yep. ROOKIE.]

Making use of all resources is the sign of a good soldier. But hnnnn....

[Don't mind him as he gives you a look over, Akiha.]

...Japanese, huh?

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha raises her chin a bit as she's looked over. Just in case he's looking her over for dirty old man reasons.]

Correct.

[sneakthatshit]

[It is dirty old man reasons.]

Blue eyes. Hnn. You have some European ancestors somewhere along the line, I'm guessing.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Demon is not European, dirty old man.]

My heritage is none of your business. Is it so odd for you to encounter a Japanese woman?

[She bites back the 'you American mutt' she wanted to add to the end.]

[sneakthatshit]

A little.

[Pulling out a pack of cigarettes.]

My partner is big into those Japanimation things so I see them plenty enough in the fake form.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Ugh. An otaku? Do not compare me to anything you may have seen on those pathetic shows.

[Oh, the level of disgust.]

They aren't remotely accurate and created by and for the unwashed, shut-in male masses that cannot grasp reality enough to venture outside and engage in conversation with a real woman.

[sneakthatshit]

[He goes to take a puff on his lit cig but all he ends up doing is choking and laughing.]

I guess so.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[That got a raised eyebrow and Akiha settled back down.]

Is your partner Japanese?

[sneakthatshit]

No, he's American. Names himself after those things all the cartoon fans go to meet each other though.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...that's actually worse, because American 'fans' have no understanding of low and unacceptable class of people they are emanating. This is a case there ignorance is not bliss.

[sneakthatshit]

In his defense, he showers regularly.

[.........]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[...]

That's not much of a defense.

[sneakthatshit]

And he's a genius.

[ritsu_kouyou]

So is my partner and she isn't into that stuff.

[Akiha was also fairly sure Sion didn't even know what it was, but that was beside the point.]

If he's a genius, he should know better, especially since that stuff doesn't remotely follow the laws of physics.

[sneakthatshit]

It's robotics and stuff like that. Trust me, he gave me a thirty minute speech on how his cartoons are inspiration for his work.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...and you bothered to listen?

[sneakthatshit]

There wasn't much of a choice at the time.

[ritsu_kouyou]

You did have the choice to not pay attention.

[sneakthatshit]

No, I really didn't.

[He was explaining important info in that long speech!!!!]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Did you learn anything useful from it?

[sneakthatshit]

Enough to save my life.

[Probably. He was sure of it but Snake always undervalued his own skills.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

I suppose that made it worth putting up with.

[sneakthatshit]

That and saving the world from a nuclear holocaust.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I would expect you to have mentioned that before mentioning it saved your life.
